14.04 was getting along with the wireless card until today and I tried many things to fix it but got myself into a mess where I felt reinstalling completely was the best option. I installed 16.04 instead. The original problem is still there D: The problem appears similar to the one asked here in many respects, except that restarting Network Manager has no effect and the output of iwconfig shows no wireless extensions.

lspci -nn 

output includes

04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM34132 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)

Secure boot is off and bcmwl-kernel-source is the latest version. I purged, updated and reinstalled it, to be sure.

sudo rfkill list

shows no wifi devices, only bluetooth. What's my next step, here?

Just do this:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` dkms build-essential bcmwl-kernel-source
